I have not yet looked at the plugin, but my idea was to let the OS
handle directory size calculations, on both platforms.
on Mac/Unix du -c returns text which looks something like this (desktop
folder size):
10472072 <tab> /Users/<username>/Desktop/<some file/directory>
27426552 <tab> /Users/<username>/Desktop
as I understand the DOS command 'dir', and my simple test in cmd.exe.
Dir <path> /S --- returns the current directory, and sub directories,
listing, with a total of ALL file and sub-directory sizes.
the last 3 lines of this (assuming the result is text) look like this:
Total Files Listed:
2678 File(s) 1,839,599,592 bytes
2924 Dir(s) 369,796,022,272 bytes free
given that, it is simple to parse out the total directory size (2678
File(s) 1,839,599,592 bytes)
